I think congrats again to OpenAI for cooking with GPT-5 Pro. This is the third time I've struggled on something complex/gnarly for an hour on and off with CC, then 5 Pro goes off for 10 minutes and comes back with code that works out of the box. I had CC read the 5 Pro version

today we are significantly increasing rate limits for reasoning for chatgpt plus users, and all model-class limits will shortly be higher than they were before gpt-5. we will also shortly make a UI change to indicate which model is working.
tomorrow or tuesday we expect to share our thinking on how we are going to make capacity tradeoffs over the coming months. (e.g., chatgpt vs the api, existing users vs new ones, research vs product, etc)
the percentage of users using reasoning models each day is significantly increasing; for example, for free users we went from <1% to 7%, and for plus users from 7% to 24%. i expect use of reasoning to greatly increase over time, so rate limit increases are important.
Wanted to provide more updates on the GPT-5 rollout and changes we are making heading into the weekend. 1. We for sure underestimated how much some of the things that people like in GPT-4o matter to them, even if GPT-5 performs better in most ways. 2. Users have very different

jason rugolo had been hoping we would invest in or acquire his company iyo and was quite persistent in his efforts. we passed and were clear along the way. now he is suing openai over the name. this is silly, disappointing and wrong.
it is cool to try super hard to raise money or get acquired and to do whatever you can to make your company succeed. it is not cool to turn to a lawsuit when you dont get what you want. sets a terrible precedent for trying to help the ecosystem.

we are going to take a little more time with our open-weights model, i.e. expect it later this summer but not june. our research team did something unexpected and quite amazing and we think it will be very very worth the wait, but needs a bit longer.
wrote a new post, the gentle singularity. realized it may be the last one like this i write with no AI help at all. (proud to have written "From a relativistic perspective, the singularity happens bit by bit, and the merge happens slowly" the old-fashioned way)
i like this take: "The plan o3 gave us was plausible, reasonable; but the plan o3 Pro gave us was specific and rooted enough that it actually changed how we are thinking about our future."
o3-pro is rolling out now for all chatgpt pro users and in the api. it is really smart! i didnt believe the win rates relative to o3 the first time i saw them.
we dropped the price of o3 by 80%!! excited to see what people will do with it now. think you'll also be happy with o3-pro pricing for the performance :)

recently the NYT asked a court to force us to not delete any user chats. we think this was an inappropriate request that sets a bad precedent. we are appealing the decision. we will fight any demand that compromises our users' privacy; this is a core principle.
we have been thinking recently about the need for something like "AI privilege"; this really accelerates the need to have the conversation. imo talking to an AI should be like talking to a lawyer or a doctor. i hope society will figure this out soon.
also, today we are making a lightweight version of memory available to the free tier of chatgpt! memory has probably become my favorite feature in chatgpt; excited for us to improve this a lot over time.
codex gets access to the internet today! it is off by default and there are complex tradeoffs; people should read about the risks carefully and use when it makes sense. also, we are making in available in the chatgpt plus tier.

The exchange between Sam Altman and Elon Musk on X reflects their evolving views on Donald Trump. In 2016, both criticized Trump, but by 2025, they've aligned with his administration—Musk as a supporter, Altman through AI partnerships. Their posts seem less about "slinging mud"
so excited that is joining openai in a new role: ceo of applications, reporting to me. i'll remain ceo of openai, but in this new configuration i'll be able to increase my focus on research, compute, and safety. these are critical as we approach superintelligence.
fidji is exceptional; we have worked together on openai for the past year and i have observed her deep commitment to our mission. i cannot imagine a better new team member to help us scale the next 10x (or 100x, let's see).
great to see progress on the first stargate in abilene with our partners at oracle today. will be the biggest ai training facility in the world. the scale, speed, and skill of the people building this is awesome.
4 facts about our structure: -OpenAI will continue to be controlled by the current nonprofit -Our existing for-profit will become a Public Benefit Corporation -Nonprofit will control & be a significant owner of the PBC -Nonprofit & PBC will continue to have the same mission
this is much less important than tweeting about agi, but it is nevertheless amazing to me that the entire venture industry can (in aggregate) lose money for so long and keep getting funded. i am very curious why LPs do it. (obviously if you can fund the top funds you should!)
very grateful to all the developers who spent time with us telling us what they wanted from an open-weights model. the feedback was useful and unexpected, but all doable. i think we will ship something extraordinary!
today we launch deep research, our next agent. this is like a superpower; experts on demand! it can go use the internet, do complex research and reasoning, and give you back a report. it is really good, and can do tasks that would take hours/days and cost hundreds of dollars.
people will post lots of great examples, but here is a fun one: i am in japan right now and looking for an old NSX. i spent hours searching unsuccessfully for the perfect one. i was about to give up and deep research just...found it.
i have been on a shopping bender this morning, this is much better than i expected!

Great to showcase my taste in fashion with a double collar. More seriously, we are big fans of YC at Windsurf and are happy we could walk through our story and "moats" in AI applications.
we missed the mark with last week's GPT-4o update. what happened, what we learned, and some things we will do differently in the future:
